NÜWA
“The Elixir Of Gods”
“Inspired by the legend of NüWa, the gentle and kindly Chinese goddess who is said to have created humanity; and according to the myth taught her people to be creative and wise, introduced beauty through music, song and dance, and filled all flowers with fragrance. A tender liquid narrative to seduce the soul, a gentle harmony of Rose, Jasmin and Orange Blossom create a floral song that graces a pillowy bed of Sandalwood, Benzoin and Vanilla.”
– Roja Dove
DIAGHILEV
“Unadulterated Decadence”
“Initially created for an exhibition on The Ballet Russes for the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this perfume pays homage to one of the greatest forces of the twentieth century: Sergei Diaghilev. Founder of the legendary Ballet Russes, he totally re-wrote the rules of artistry and was even said to have scented the curtains of the theatre so patrons were enveloped in a burst of fragrance as they were raised at the start of the performance. A bold symphony of 32 ingredients, a floral heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Heliotrope and Violet create a sweet and beautiful harmony which is underscored by a lively melody of fruity Blackcurrant, Peach and Citrus. Warm, earthy Patchouli and Oakmoss are joined on stage by the naughty seductiveness of Benzoin, Leather and Labdanum. An unmistakable creation, Diaghilev -much like the man himself – is too decadent to be forgotten”
– Roja Dove
BRITANNIA
“Dignified By Design”
“A scent that defines the hallmarks of British creativity, Britannia is composed of materials from the four corners of the earth. As an island nation, the British have always been explorers and brought back new and astounding materials to incorporate into traditional creative pursuits. Blending materials from far-flung exotic realms with established indigenous ingredients, Britannia celebrates the truly British sensibility of being proud of its noble heritage whilst being accepting of external influence. The definition of British manners, this diverse and dignified scent is the epitome of opulence – without being brash – as that is not the British way.” – Roja Dove

These are the forbidden fragrances of the perfume world. Number 3 is “The Exoticist”. It is that person you see across a darkened room who is unlike anyone you have ever seen before.

– Roja Dove

This overtly sensual set of scents allow us to explore the inner desires lurking within us all, by bringing seductive characters into olfactive technicolour. These are the forbidden fragrances of the perfume world. Number 2 is “The Seducer”. You may not notice at first, but without you even quite realising it you are subject to their power. Slowly charming you, a graze of the knee or a whisper of breath on your neck and you are completely at their will.”
– Roja Dove
DE LA NUIT 1
“Desire Calls When Darkness Falls”

SCANDAL
“Ensures You Are Talked About”
“When a scandal hits, heads turn and secrets unravel. Everything is exposed as barriers are pushed and limits are tested. You either hide, or embrace it. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Scandal opens with a head-turning trilogy of creamy white florals.
Deeply narcotic Tuberose, Gardenia and Jasmine form the heart of this creation, whilst warm whispers of Sandalwood, Orris and Musk create a soft and sensual bed for these inviting white petals to fall upon. But be warned, for when wearing this daring bouquet, it is impossible not to tempt others to talk.” – Roja Dove

RISQUÉ
“The Edge Of The Forbidden”
“A little bit naughty, a little bit nice, Risqué is the mistress of the misled. What at first appears to be a well-behaved beauty reveals itself to be rather unbuttoned. A fresh and sweet opening of Rose, Chamomile and Peach introduce a breezy personality as the disciplined Chypré harmony of Oakmoss and Cedarwood seem to conform to propriety. But there is more than meets the eye as their lingering warmth mingles with an indecent dose of leathery Labdanum. Like lingering eye-contact with a flash of suggestion, Risqué is a naughty little secret to wear on the skin. Evolving from flirty to flagrant, nobody is safe from its seductive powers.” – Roja Dove

“Adventure Awaits”
“The spirit of following your heart whilst being nobody’s fool, Reckless is the scent of the woman who is willing to take risks to get what she wants. Carefree but never careless, her sunny disposition finds her creating her own rules of enjoyment and indulgence. A bright, citrus burst of Bergamot, Mandarin and Orange is further enlivened by playful Spices, as cool Rose de Mai and warm Neroli create a sweet and balanced duet which is complimented by a mouth-watering addition of Benzoin and Vanilla on a rich bed of Sandalwood. Unapologetically playful, allow it settle on your skin and take you to where you want to be.” – Roja Dove

LILY
“Nature’s Beguiling Beauty”
“Splashing into water as they hit the crystal base of a vase, a bashful bouquet rests atop regal emerald stalks. Poised and ready to take centre-stage, teardrop vessels hold a majestic beauty captive in wait. Overnight, languid petals curl open to reveal a majesty which announces their presence in the morning sunlight. A voluptuous burst of scent fills the room with an enveloping warmth.
Heralding a heady summer day, a sensual floral accord veils an unexpected spice nuance, which lends an exotic heat. Shrouded in a haze of scent, the bouquet that seems so pure appears to share a coy smile, for all is not quite as it initially seems.” – Roja Dove
Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, Frangipani, Ylang Ylang, Carnation
Base Notes: Clove, Wood Notes, Vanilla, Musk
GARDENIA
“Nature’s Intoxicating Accomplice”
“Emerging from sun-baked orange earth and nestled amongst a swathe of waxen emerald leaves, precious teardrop buds unravel into little white stars. Released from these blooms, a heady cloud of scent unfurls into the evening. On hot summer nights with skin still warm from the sun’s rays, lovers passing by fall under the spell of the Gardenia. The flower’s soft, creamy scent weaves itself like a charm into the tropical breeze. Enchanted by their song, a flower is picked off, and pushed gently behind an ear.” – Roja Dove

ENSLAVED
“A Prisoner Of Love”
“A secret weapon to wear on the skin, with just one breath, scent has the ability to enchant a loved one and hold them utterly captive. An opulent bouquet dances around the striking beauty of Carnation. The Clove-like nuance of this ruffled bloom is intensified by an opulent base of materials that bring sensuality to the fore. On a warm bed of Patchouli, Oakmoss and Cedarwood lies pure temptation as powdery Orris wraps around the notorious aphrodisiacs of Vanilla and Ambergris. A potion with the power to leave people captivated in your wake, once inhaled, they fall a slave to its power; a scent from which there is no escape.” – Roja Dove
Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Lime
Heart Notes: Geranium, Rose de Mai, Orange Blossom, Jasmin de Grasse, Ylang Ylang, Carnation
Base Notes: Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Orris, Labdanum, Ambergris, Musk
ENIGMA
“Unravel The Mystery”
“Soft powdery whispers of Orris and Musk dances around a central note of elegant Rose de Mai. But all is not what it seems as an explosion of juicy Peach – nature’s forbidden fruit – hints at something more mysterious to sink your teeth into. Beneath this portrait of refined femininity, something deeper and more exotic weaves its way out of the shadows. A damp, earthy accent of Patchouli brings a carnal edge to the sensuality of Sandalwood, which is taken to dizzying heights with the animalic impulse of Ambergris. At once familiar and yet utterly ambiguous, the inability to put your finger on who that woman is, is the enigma itself.” – Roja Dove

DANGER
“You Have Been Warned”
“Dangerous not just for those wearing it, but for those who smell it on them: demure Rose de Mai creates a fresh and willing invitation but beware as aphrodisiacs lurk in the shadows, daring you to breathe in a little deeper. Creamy white flowers coax the sweetness of Sandalwood and Vanilla into a siren’s song, where skin-like Orris and Musk tempt you to lean in a little closer. Just remember, you have been warned…” – Roja Dove

Bringing the prestige and personality of this award-winning store to life, 51 Parfum is a scent where nothing is exactly as it seems. Juicy Raspberry lends a vibrant contrast to the floral grace of Rose, Jasmine and Lily, which is made velvety-smooth through a sensual note of Vanilla.

and caring.”
VETIVER
“The King Of Perfumery”
“There is no material in perfumery quite like Vetiver – it is at once earthy, smoky and leathery all in perfect harmony. Sophisticated and incredibly versatile, those who wear it are confident and self-assured – a presence in any room. Vibrant Citrus notes create a lively freshness around the dry warmth of Vetiver, whilst both Cedar Wood and Needles, and Oakmoss add heat and complexity. Everybody wants to be near him. It is the ultimate example of how a modern man should smell. The Vetiver wearer doesn’t provoke envy but instead, adoration.” – Roja Dove

RECKLESS
“Extraordinary Awaits”

An aromatic blend of Lemon and Lavender, Bergamot and Bay throw caution to the wind, creating an energetic opening which is fired up further by five lively spices. The dry warmth of earthy Oakmoss and Vetiver, and Cedar, Cypress and Sandal Woods round Reckless into a commanding Chypré composition that brims with strength of character.

FETISH
“Succumb To Desire”
“Thoroughly improper yet impossible to deny, Fetish preys on the most basic of instincts. Dominated by the deviants of perfumery, Labdanum and Leather tease the promise of fulfilled desire. The dry warmth of Oakmoss and Vetiver lend a seductive strength, whilst Cinnamon and Pink Pepper turn up the heat and risk things getting a little hot under the collar. A dirty little secret to wear on the skin, once inhaled, you become a slave to its power, compulsively coming back for more. If scent could be censored, this would break every rule!” – Roja Dove

Dressed in a way that defies the club rules, this alluring presence is definitely unexpected. Why is he here? How did he get in? You cannot take your eye off this mysterious man. Warm touches of spice blend with soft Vanilla and Benzoin, which create a sense of ambiguity – nothing is quite what it seems.” – Roja Dove

AOUD
“My Aouds capture the mysterious exoticism of the Middle East. Rich, exotic, and complex fragrances of unparalleled luxury - they allow us to discover a world of secret pleasures coveted by all.”
MUSK AOUD
“Mysterious Sensuality”
“An interpretation of the traditional Oriental style in which Aoud is often presented is transformed into an utterly contemporary Chyprè accord. This composition is formed around a central duet of Musk and Aoud, where a delicate note of Rose de Mai is made dry and natural by an abundance of woods and mosses. A rich and sensual base of Tonka Bean and Ambrette fused with leatherlike Labdanum heightens the aphrodisiacal nature of one of perfumery’s most legendary materials – Musk. Totally unexpected and yet utterly compulsive, Musk Aoud pays homage to tradition whilst creating its own distinct path forward.”

With this creation, precious Rose de Mai and Saffron create a beautiful foundation for Aoud to take centre stage, whilst a spicy and incredibly sensual base allow its beauty to resonate.
